As if being the first male vocalist to sell over 100 million digital records in the United States isn’t enough to brag about, Justin Bieber sits in the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) history books as the most-decorated male singer ever.

Now, thanks to the ongoing success of his third Hot 100 #1 single ‘Love Yourself’ (from the 2015 album ‘Purpose’), the Canadian heartthrob has extended the already gargantuan record.

Over a decade into his career, Justin Bieber easily remains one of music’s most dominating forces – a position regularly reiterated by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Less than 7 months after becoming the first male singer to sell over 100 million digital records (as we reported here), the GRAMMY winner extends the record thanks to the success of his two Hot 100 #1 singles of 2021 – ‘Peaches’ (featuring Giveon and Daniel Caesar) and ‘Stay’ alongside Kid LAROI.

Despite rendering two multiPlatinum singles – ‘Yummy’ and ‘Intentions’ (featuring Quavo) – Justin Bieber‘s 2020 era, ‘Changes,’ was widely regarded a failure when compared to the mega-success of the efforts that preceded it.

Quickly abandoned (in some part due to the global health crisis as well), the era’s successor – 2021’s ‘Justice’ – has proven in more ways than one it’s picking up the slack.

Another day, another historic mark for Pop pinup Justin Bieber.

As if continuing to ride high on Billboard charts thanks to his historic #1 hit ‘,Peaches,’ and its parent album, ‘Justice,’ isn’t enough, the GRAMMY winner – already the highest certified male vocalist in the history of digital music – is now penciled in the history books of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) thanks to his extension of that record.

Wins keep coming in for global Pop superstar Justin Bieber.

Just a day after the GRAMMY winner learned his latest album, ‘Justice,’ was presiding atop the Billboard 200 (as we reported here), the project’s latest single, ‘Peaches’ (featuring Giveon and Daniel Caesar), was announced as the Hot 100 champion – to historic measure.

No stranger to record books, Bieber – who is already the most certified male vocalist in the history of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) – has now extended claim to the title thanks to the addition of his second Diamond single.

It’s a great week to be Justin Bieber!

The 27-year-old just learned his latest album ‘Justice’ debuted atop the Billboard 200 the same week its latest single, ‘Peaches,’ took a bite out of the Hot 100’s top spot (as we reported here).

Now, Bieber – who is already the most certified male vocalist in digital music history (according to the Recording Industry Association of America) – is adding another plaque to his colossal collection.

Just days before Justin Bieber sent his fans, affectionately called #Beliebers, into a frenzy by unveiling the release date of his highly anticipated sixth studio album ‘Justice’ (click here to read more), the 26-year-old learned yet another tune from the LP’s tracklist had been certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

It gets lonely at the top;  just ask Justin Bieber.

The ‘Lonely’ singer, already the best-selling male vocalist of the digital era, extended that this month record thanks to the Benny Blanco & Finneas-produced song crossing the Recording Industry Association of America’s (RIAA) threshold for Platinum status.

If continued fan consumption is anything to judge by, ‘Yummy’ is an apt title for the lead single from Justin Bieber‘s fifth studio album, ‘Changes.’

Granted, the LP has proven itself to be his slowest selling to date but its singles – namely ‘Yummy’ and the Quavo-assisted ‘Intentions’ – have been the era’s saving graces.  Such is especially the case with the latter which was certified 2x Platinum, peaked at #5 on the Hot 100, and ended the year at #18 on the year-end charts.

Now, its predecessor is catching up to its ranks as it relates to certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Commercially, ‘Changes’ continues to prove itself an inadvertently apt description for Justin Bieber‘s last era.

Coincidentally kicked off by the R&B-flavored ‘Yummy,’ the project – despite topping the Billboard 200 in February – has been his least consumed by music lovers to date.

Yet, despite not knowing the out-of-the-box success of its predecessors ‘Purpose,’ ‘Believe,’ and ‘My World 2.0,,’ ‘Changes’ can now at least boast a similar stat:  Platinum status.

Love or loathe him, Chris Brown‘s stats are undeniable – especially at the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

As if breaking King of Rock N’ Roll Elvis Presley‘s record for most Gold-certified singles (among male singers) wasn’t enough to brag, he’s also listed in the organization’s logs for being the first male vocalist in their 72-year history to nab 20 Platinum-certified singles.

For context, “Gold” denotes sales of 500,000 in the United States while “Platinum” refers to sales equivalence of 1 million in the same territory.

Now, thanks to the ongoing success of hits like ‘No Guidance,’ ‘Loyal,’ ‘Look at Me Now,’ and more, Brown’s broken even more new ground at the RIAA.
